Republic Services Inc. and Mas Energy LLC recently unveiled a
new renewable energy project serving metro Atlanta, Georgia. The
innovative project involves landfill gas-to-energy facilities at
three area landfills, located in the cities of Buford, Griffin and
Winder. Together, these facilities are capable of generating 24.1
MW of electricity, or enough renewable energy to power 15,665
households.

"We believe in leading by example in everything we do," said
Jamey Amick, area president of Republic Services. "The modern
landfill presents new opportunity to harness energy from
yesterday's waste and convert it to meet tomorrow's energy needs.
We are proud to partner once again with Mas Energy to generate a
renewable energy source that makes a meaningful and lasting
environmental difference in the state of Georgia."

Republic Services' latest landfill gas-to-energy project will
generate 24.1 megawatts of electricity when at capacity at three
Georgia landfills.

The waste management company partnered with Mas Energy on the
renewable energy project, which involves capturing methane - a
potent greenhouse gas - from the landfills and routing the gas to a
series of engines. These engines convert the methane into
electricity, which is then distributed to the local power grid.

Republic Services and Mas Energy LLC unveiled three
gas-to-energy facilities this week, including one at the Richland
Creek Landfill in Buford.

The facilities, which are located at landfills, are designed to
serve as renewable energy sources which Republic Services officials
said should put out enough power to serve 15,665 households. The
other facilities are located in Griffin and Winder.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Your garbage can
generate electricity. It sounds futuristic, but it's happening
right now in the metro area.

Channel 2 Action News was there when Mas Energy and Republic
Services unveiled three landfill-gas-to-energy plants in the metro
this week. The largest is in Buford, with two others in Winder and
Griffin.

As trash breaks down, it releases methane gas into the
atmosphere. The three plants capture that methane gas and convert
it into electricity.

epublic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) announced that the Georgia
Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) has
recognized the Company, together with Mas Energy, with its Landfill
Gas Utilization Excellence Award. The award was presented earlier
at the Chapter's annual conference and awards presentation on Saint
Simon Island.

The Excellence Award recognizes the development by Republic and
Mas Energy of three landfill gas-to-energy facilities serving the
metro Atlanta area. Together, the facilities generate more than 24
megawatts of electricity and are capable of powering more than
15,600 are homes.

Three Atlanta area landfills are now generating
24 megawatts of electricity.

Phoenix-based Republic Services Inc. and Ponte Vedra,
Florida-based Mas Energy LLC have
unveiled a series of landfill-gas-to-energy projects in the Atlanta
area. The three systems are located at landfills in the cities of
Buford, Griffin and Winder, Georgia. Together, the facilities are
capable of generating 24.1 megawatts (mW) of electricity, or enough
to power 15,665 households, according to Republic Services.

Ponte Verde Beach, Florida based renewable energy
developer, Mas Energy has developed the first trigeneration
landfill gas to energy system in the U.S., which supplies
electricity, steam and chilled water in Atlanta.

The company said that the combination of power, heat and cooling
supplied by the facility satisfy almost the entire energy demand of
a nearby beverage processing facility.

According to Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), the completion of the project
has moved it up to third place on the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) list of the largest on-site green power
generators.

The U.S. EPA released its top 25 onsite green power generators
through its Green Power Partnership program for this quarter, and
Coca-Cola has ranked third, mainly because of a 6.5 MW
combined-heat-and-power (CHP) system the company commissioned in
April.

The facility was developed by and is owned and operated by Mas
Energy. Located at Republic Services' Hickory Ridge landfill in
Atlanta, Ga., it's located adjacent to Coca-Cola's syrup plant and
supplies it with all of its electricity, steam and chilled water
needs.

Mas Energy has developed the first-ever trigeneration
landfill-gas-to-energy system in the United States. The
6.5-megawatt system--which began operations earlier this
year--supplies electricity, steam, and chilled water to an
Atlanta-based beverage processing facility. The system provides
most of the beverage-production plant's energy needs, offsetting
the use of fossil fuels.

Mas Energy, LLC (Mas) completed the first phase of construction
for its Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGTE) project located at the
Charlotte County, Florida's Zemel Road landfill. Mas acquired
the LFGTE project via its acquisition of 100% membership interests
in GES-Port Charlotte, LLC (GESPC) in June 2009. The first
phase of construction comprised of the gas collection and control
system and utility flare (GCCS). With completion of the GCCS,
Mas is moving forward with the second phase of the project,
installation of reciprocating engine generators and associated
electric utility interconnection.
